The scrolling speed in Firefox 13 is outrageous.

Disable smooth scrolling. It did that to me too so I promptly disabled that horse****.

Firefox 14.0.1 is out now.... again I see nothing new of importance....

 

[Plok 327]

I just see a globe icon next to the Back button.

[PurpleGaga27 40]

I passed on version 14 and now 14.01? Snore...

[Sonic 296]

I just see a globe icon next to the Back button.

 

You mean in the address bar? I'd rather have the favicon displayed there instead.

 

 

Judging by this article http://www.neowin.net/news/firefox-removing-favicons-from-the-address-bar, this was a planned changed by Mozilla due to security reasons.

[Luk3us 63]

Yawn, I think I'll skip that version, or at the very least find a add on that does favicons, they're great.

 

Why should I be penalized because stupid people are, stupid.

[Sonic 296]

Is it really that bad, how often do you look at the address bar was you've finished typing an address in it? Besides you still the favicons on the tab bar.

Is version 14 out already? Man, I really might ditch this bull**** in favor of Firefox ESR. This is ridiculous.

That kind of attitude is why we lost the status bar. THE STATUS BARRRR!!!!

 

**** Mozilla and their minimalist bull****. I want buttons and I want lots of them!

[Doctor Destiny 41]

From what I was reading, there's a way to reverse that change. However, I understand the logic behind it and it's not for experienced users like us. It's for idiots who don't their asshole from their elbow. It's something I could get used to and even find useful here and there.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

So I heard Firefox 15 is out now.

[Luk3us 63]

And I'm still on 13, Favicons and all!

[PurpleGaga27 40]

Firefox version 4 update 11 = Firefox 15. I still track the versions since 4.0, and I found out it's still the same old thing with minor improvements. The users could still be stunned by the fact the browser they had been using is still the version 4.0 series.

Future Firefox 18 finally has Javascript improved:

Come on, Mozilla. This should have been implemented already in Firefox 4.0, not later.

You know what would make Firefox really great? Right, not eating 1.5GB of ****ing RAM.

[PurpleGaga27 40]

Firefox 16 has been released, but due to a critical security issue, Mozilla took down the download link from the Web and the re-release of that version will be out later this week:

[Nmenth 291]

Which they will be calling Firefox 17?

[Luk3us 63]

Next month at the latest.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

It wants to update to 16.0.1... not sure if want...

[PurpleGaga27 40]

I found the latest version 16.0.1 in Mozilla's website. Looks like Firefox 16 at the first public release was a fail.

 

Meh, I'll wait for version 18 anyway which should be released around Christmas.

[Sonic 296]

I've been on 16.0.1 for 2 weeks. No problems here.

[PurpleGaga27 40]

A month later, Firefox 17 is now released. Still the same old thing.

[Luk3us 63]

I'm still on 13 bitches!

[Nmenth 291]

Firefox 7.0.1 here.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

I moved to the Firefox ESR release. I got sick of the constant updates.
